The Boat Race 2008
[edit]- ... that the 2008 Boat Race featured the slowest winning time in over 60 years?
- ALT1:... that the 2008 Boat Race featured the oldest ever competitor?
- ALT2:... that the 2008 Boat Race featured the oldest ever competitor, a 36 year-old?
Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Matty.007 (talk) at 17:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC).
Promoted to GA on 16 July; long enough, well referenced and within policy. No close paraphrasing found on spotcheck of sources. QPQ not required since not a self-nom. All hooks are verified by their respective inline citations - personally I think ALT2 is quite fun. 97198 (talk) 03:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
